Shiv Sena on Thursday said Congress leader Rahul Gandhi NCP chief Pawar should join hands to bring all opposition parties together to take on the ruling BJP at the Centre. “Gandhi regularly attacks the Center and its policies, but he is on Twitter,” said an editorial in Sena mouthpiece ‘Saamana’. Shiv Sena, which shares power with the NCP and Congress in Maharashtra, further claimed that the Prime Minister Narendra ModiThe body language has changed.
“He knows that the situation in the country has gone out of his hands. Despite people’s anger, the BJP and the government are confident that there is no threat to them because of a weak and dissatisfied opposition.” Pawar on Tuesday hosted a meeting of leaders of eight opposition parties, including the Trinamool Congress (TMC). The Samajwadi Party, Aam Aadmi Party, Rashtriya Lok Dal and Left parties showed up at his residence in Delhi amid speculation over the possibility of a third front against the BJP.
However, leaders who participated in that discussion said it was an “apolitical” meeting of like-minded individuals organized by the National Forum, organized by former finance minister and TMC vice-president Yashwant Sinha, among others. In a Shiv Sena editorial on Thursday, he said, “Rahul Gandhi should join hands with Pawar to form an alliance of all opposition parties.” The opposition leaders’ tea party should have been organized by Gandhi.
“Sharad Pawar can bring all the opposition parties together. But then, there is the question of leadership. If we expect the Congress to lead, the party itself is without a national president,” the Shiv Sena said. There is an organization called UPA (Congress-led United Progressive Alliance), but does the country have a strong and organized one. Opposition? The question is still pending, it said. “The National Manch’s tea party at Sharad Pawar’s Delhi house showed the correct position of the opposition,” it said in a sarcastic remark. Despite being advertised, nothing came out.
“The (meeting) organizers said that the government has no vision to address the many pressing issues facing the country and the national forum will provide the government. Because of the meeting, it was revealed that there is an organization called Rashtriya Manch founded by Yashwant Sinha,” it remarked. The people who gathered at the meeting were all those who “preferred discussion and debate over political action”, it claimed. The editorial further said that there should be a discussion first whether the opposition should come together on only one criterion – opposing the BJP and Modi. “The mountain of challenges facing the country today is the legacy of the present government. What does the alternative leadership think about these problems?” the Shiv Sena wanted to know. A strong opposition is the need of parliamentary democracy. But, such an opposition is “non-existent” at the national level, given that many regional parties have Standing against the BJP and defeated it in the elections.
